WHAT IS PSI CHI?
Psi Chi is the International Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 for the purpose of encouraging, stimulating and maintaining excellence in scholarship and advancing the science of psychology.
We are an affiliate of the American Psychological Association (APA) and American Psychological Society (APS), and hold membership with the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS).
Psi Chi is one of the largest honor societies in the United States, with over 900,000 members.
Psi Chi at UC Davis is one of more than 1,100 Psi Chi chapters located at senior colleges and universities around the world. Our chapter was officially chartered on November 22, 1982.
ABOUT US
Psi Chi at UC Davis is an honor society celebrating the academic achievements of UC Davis students pursuing the field of Psychology and Cognitive Science. We are student-led, with support from faculty advisors and the greater national Psi Chi network.
At our UC Davis chapter, we invite all students to participate in our Psychology Club which is integrated with the Psi Chi Honor Society. While official Psi Chi members receive extra benefits and academic recognition, our community is open to any student interested in Psychology.
Membership offers the opportunity to network with professionals in the field, prepare for a career in psychology, and connect with peers in your area of study.
OUR GOALS
1. To provide academic recognition to all inducted members.
2. To foster accomplishment by providing a community for students to enhance the regular curriculum and to provide practical experience and fellowship through involvement.
